In this powerful end-of-year episode, Erica Saccoccio takes you through a grounded, honest reflection of 2025 and the leadership lessons that shaped the childcare field this year. This isn’t a surface-level recap — it’s a deep dive into who you’ve become as a leader, what truly worked in your program, and where your growth is calling you next.

Erica walks you step-by-step through five core leadership practices including claiming your wins, identifying costly blind spots, strengthening your staffing pipeline, realigning your vision and values, and using her signature “Keep, Kill, Change” framework to finish the year strong.

This episode will help you pause with intention, acknowledge your evolution, and prepare to lead with greater clarity and purpose in 2026.
